This is very clearly release team territory and they have an RC bug policy already: https://release.debian.org/stretch/rc_policy.txt If this isn't clear enough or sufficient enough, that policy should be improved. The TC should not go out and overrule the release team's RC bug policy unless we have a really good reason (and it's still not completely clear that we can overrule them as a team either, but that entire discussion is unneeded unless we want/need to override them). -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
